Memory: Sweeney Todd (2011)

Sweeney Todd 2011

1. Fantastic staging and casting – a production that I will remember for a long time.

From: Sian

2. I can not choose between ‘Singing in the Rain’ with Adam Cooper & the delectable Scarlett Strallen and ‘„ƒSweeney Todd’ with the brilliant Imelda Staunton and Michael Ball plus some incredible scenery. They were two incredible productions in the same summer and then both of them deservedly going straight up to the West End. These shows were so good that when you left the theatre you would have gone straight back in and seen them all over again.

Memory: Song of Singapore (1998)

Issy Van Randwyck

It was one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever seen and the Minerva was the perfect venue.

Memory: Sir Laurence Olivier (Artistic DIrector)

Laurence OlivierAs the greatest actor of a generation to have him as the 1st Artistic Director was, I believe, the most significant factor in enabling Leslie Evershed-Martin’s dream to be fulfilled. His international status and his acting pedigree attracted both artists and audiences to Chichester – something that probably, at the time, couldn’t have been achieved by anyone else.
